Tempers flared between the duo on Friday (28 February) as they discussed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine while trying to hash out a minerals deal and security guarantees.

The US President warned his Ukrainian counterpart that he was ‘gambling with World War III’ during the heated exchange, which a body language expert has now weighed in on.

Trump shared a statement slamming Zelenskyy for ‘disrespecting the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office’ in the wake of the tense meeting on his ‘Truth Social’ social media platform.

But the Ukrainian President – whose understated attire has got people talking – refused to apologise, although he did admit he doesn’t want to ‘lose [the] friendship’ between his nation and the US.

NATO’s secretary general is on the same page too, as Mark Rutte told Zelenskyy he needs to find a way to remedy this rough patch with Trump and reckons they need to salvage the countries kinship.

He described the meeting as ‘unfortunate’ in a phone call with Zelenskyy hours after it took place, according to the BBC.

Rutte told the leader of the war-torn country: “I think you have to find a way, dear Volodymyr, to restore your relationship with Donald Trump and the American administration. That is important going forward.”

The Dutch politician, who has served as secretary general of NATO since October 2024, went on to remind Zelenskyy of how the US has helped him throughout Russia’s invasion.

“We really have to respect what President Trump has done so far for Ukraine,” Rutte said.

“Without the Javelins in 2022, when the full-scale attack started, Ukraine would have been nowhere,” he said in reference to the anti-tank weapons which Trump sent to Ukraine in 2019.

“I told him we really have to give Trump credit for what he did then, what America did since then and also what America is still doing.”

Rutte said he was sure that Trump was ‘committed to bring Ukraine to a durable peace’, adding: “And obviously, what they need to get there is to make sure that we’ll all work together on this.”

Despite Zelenskyy and Trump being on shaky ground, Ukraine’s leader received a warm welcome from UK Prime Minister as he arrived at Downing Street yesterday (1 March).

Sir Keir Starmer reassured him that his nation ‘has full backing across the United Kingdom’, while speaking of ‘our absolute determination to stand with’ Ukraine.

“A lasting peace for Ukraine based on sovereignty and security for Ukraine – so important for Ukraine, so important for Europe and so important for the United Kingdom,” the Labour leader added.

Zelenskyy told Starmer he was glad that Ukraine had ‘such friends’, according to the BBC.

And last night’s (March 1) ceremony at London’s O2 arena fit the bill ceremony.

After pop princess Sabrina Carpenter opened the show with an ‘outrageous performance’ – AKA, she wore underwear while singing her bop about having good ‘Bed Chem’ – Charli XCX called out ITV for ‘complaining about her nipples’.

The most nominated artist of the night, the BRAT star won the biggest awards of the Brits including album and song of the year.

But as she picked up artist of the year, Charli did not shy away from making a claim against the broadcaster.

Throughout the night, viewers at home had to experience silent sections of the show as conversations and speeches were muted due to their content, even past 9pm.

And the ‘360’ singer accused ITV of having a problem with her outfit for the night.

“I heard that ITV were complaining about my nipples,” she said as she collected the award. “I feel like we’re in the era of free the nipple though, right?”

Charli wore an incredible sheer black dress for the Brits from Dilara Fındıkoğlu’s fall 2025 collection. And the ‘Guess’ singer left little for us to, well, guess, as it revealed her black underwear and a nude corset underneath.

When applause started following her comment, the 32-year-old said: “They put the clap track on, cool. Thanks for being on my side.”

Her first win of the night was in fact for ‘Guess’ as she thanked Billie Eilish for her guest vocals on the track.

“This is cool, I’m really happy that a song about underwear now has a Brit award, very important stuff,” the Essex star said drily.

And when picking up her fifth and final award of the night, best album, she told the cheering audience how she had ‘always felt like an outsider’ in the industry.

“Culture caught up with us and wanted to be on the journey with us – I am living proof that it takes a long time, but you don’t need to compromise your vision,” Charli said.

One victim of ITV’s censoring of the broadcast wasn’t much of a surprise though – Danny Dyer.

Chatting to host Jack Whitehall, the actor went on to let rip at international leaders, saying the ‘world is being run by b******s’, before directly taking aim at Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.

Sat next to a ‘horse’, he apparently branded the Labour leader ‘b****** of the year’. Ouch.

LADbible has contacted ITV and Dyer for comment.

Each of the four episodes is filmed in one continuous shot, so the drama will be heightened for viewers as the storyline unfolds in real time.

Co-written by Graham and Jack Thorne, it’s directed by Philip Barantini who used a similar one-shot style in Boiling Point which also starred the scouse legend.

Adolescence follows a family as their worlds are turned upside down when 13-year-old Jamie (Owen Cooper) is arrested for the murder of a teenage girl.

Speaking at Next on Netflix back in January, Graham explained the idea for the series came about after seeing ‘an epidemic of knife crime amongst young lads up and down the country’.

He said it ‘just really hit me hard’ as he discussed it with Barantini.

“I just thought, why? What’s going on? What’s happening? Why is this the case? What’s going on with our society as a whole, as a collective?

“And without being disrespectful, when these things are on the news – and we’re a couple of kids from council estates – but when these things are on the news, your judgement instantly goes to blaming the family, you blame the mum and dad.

“We’re all guilty of it, because that’s the easy common denominator. I just thought, ‘What if that’s not the case at all?’”

With such a hard-hitting story at its core, and an impressive cast including Erin Doherty, Ashley Walters, Faye Marsay and Mark Stanley, there has understandably been a whole load of hype for Adolescence.

And it seems to be living up to that already.

Stuart Heritage described the first few minutes as ‘among the most incredible you will ever see’ in The Guardian.

Reflecting Graham’s point about how parents are often blamed, Adolescence removes these possibilities and ‘takes us somewhere even more terrifying’.

Heritage believes the drama ‘will horrify all parents’ as he added: “Adolescence is set to be a cultural touchpoint for young masculinity for years to come. What an astonishing thing these people have made.”

As the trailer was shared on social media, users said it looks ‘intense’ and ‘harrowing’ as some admitted they’re not sure they have ‘the stomach’ to watch.

Us Brits love a brew, with a third of us drinking more than three cups of the stuff every day and 20 percent admitting to having between five and 10.

But if you regularly drink lots of tea, one doctor has issued a warning after citing a study about tea bags specifically.

On Facebook, Dr Mark Hyman explained back in 2023: “If you are a tea drinker, use an organic loose leaf tea and steep it. Using a stainless steel or glass strainer will reduce your microplastic exposure significantly.

“If you like using tea bags for their convenience or portability, make sure you’re getting the kind that’s free from bisphenol-A (BPA), phthalates, polypropylene, and epichlorohydrin. Look for tea bags made from organic hemp, cotton, or plant fibers instead.

“Tea can be an incredible source of antioxidants in your life, but just like food—quality matters.”

The study found that in a single cup of tea – which used a plastic tea bag – approximately 11.6 billion microplastics and over three billion nanoplastics were released.

“The objective of this study was to determine whether plastic teabags could release microplastics and/or nanoplastics during a typical steeping process,” the study explained.

“We show that steeping a single plastic teabag at brewing temperature (95°C) releases approximately 11.6 billion microplastics and 3.1 billion nanoplastics into a single cup of the beverage.

“The composition of the released particles is matched to the original teabags (nylon and polyethylene terephthalate) using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

“The levels of nylon and polyethylene terephthalate particles released from the teabag packaging are several orders of magnitude higher than plastic loads previously reported in other foods.”

Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic that are released by consumer goods – for example, clothes, toys, packaging, food containers or even tyres.

Not only do they contaminate the air, our food and our water, but they can now be found inside of our bodies, potentially causing inflammation.

People were pretty shocked after Dr Hyman shared the findings.

“I have a stainless steel tea kettle. I buy organic loose leaf tea or organic tea in paper bags,” one said.

While another wrote: “It makes me so angry that we are still being exposed to nasty chemicals and harming the environment. I try to be so careful about these things. Never even thought about tea bags but I will now!”

And a third added: “Thank you for this info – I wasn’t aware, and I’m a big tea drinker!!”

Meanwhile, another joked: “More than 25 years ago, long before I heard of microplastics, I realised plastic teabags were probably not very healthy due to petrochemicals.

“So I sticked to beer all this time.”

The 59-year-old, best known as ‘The Beast’ to ITV viewers, has shed loads of weight since kickstarting his health journey after his diagnosis in 2017.

He made a host of lifestyle changes and his transformation has been incredible – so much so, that he really ought to change his quizzing nickname to something a bit daintier.

Although he might appear to have all the answers when we watch him annihilate The Chase contestants on screen, even he’s unsure on how to slow down the hands of time.

Speaking to OK!, the father-of-one revealed that he is conscious that a few of his attributes knock a ‘few years off his lifespan’.

“One of the drawbacks of being as tall as I am is that it takes a few years off your lifespan,” he said. “And being as heavy as I was takes a few years off, too.

“But my father’s side lived long lives. I rarely drink, I’ve never smoked, never done drugs, there’s no gambling, and God knows, there are no loose women in my life!”

Labbett, who split from girlfriend Hayley Palmer in May last year, explained that his downfall is ‘sugar’ – but after practicing some restraint, he now reckons that he weighs ‘about 18 stone’.

And that is some serious progress, considering the fact he was about 29 stone at his heaviest.

Discussing what he thinks when he sees himself on old episodes of The Chase, Labbett said: “Sometimes I look and go, ‘Blimey, is that me?’

“But the one thing about being a very big person, and especially a very big man with a big frame, is you can carry a lot of weight without really noticing it.

“The trouble is, I had a tonne of visceral fat, which isn’t good for you at all, and that’s why I was so heavy but relatively slim for my height and build.

“Normally, if you see a 30st man they’re quite obviously 30st, but I was carrying it internally.”

Labbett began wearing a Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring Patch last year to help him keep on top of his diabetes, which he says has also helped him on his health journey.

“I’d lost a bit of weight before [he started using the monitor], but last winter I had my first real attack of arthritis and it was a shock to the system because up to that point, you think you’re immortal,” he said.

“Then suddenly, when you struggle to walk up stairs, you realise you’re not. I’d been gradually letting my glucose levels slide and enjoyed too many cheats, so when I put the monitor on I was shocked by my glucose levels.

“It’s been a real eye-opener. It’s made me realise I’ve got to be far more disciplined with carbs and sugars.”

He’s got the perfect motivation for sticking to his health journey, too – sticking around as long as possible for his seven-year-old son, Lawrence.

Labbett, who shares the young lad with ex-wife Kate, explained that seeing his only child graduate is one of his dreams.

“One of my life goals, because I was a more mature father when Lawrence appeared, is to see him graduate,” he said. “He’ll be 21 when I’m 71, 72, and that’s my mission.

“I’m just happy he’s a well-adjusted young man. He’s inherited my maths ability, which I’m not upset about either. He’s healthy, smart and tall – what more could you want?

“I’m really content with where I am. I’m loving being a dad – it’s nice to be able to provide for him.”

Although Labbett touts himself as ‘The Beast’ in the quizzing world, it seems that he’s actually more of a gentle giant.

Dr. Pradip Jamnadas has revealed that there is a bodily feature that could indicate a condition that puts you at higher risk of diabetes or obesity.

Having high insulin levels can be difficult to spot due to a lack of symptoms, and you’ll often need to get a health professional to look at your family and medical history, and carry out a series of tests.

Then you’ll know if you have high insulin, scientifically known as hyperinsulinemia.

What is hyperinsulinemia?

While it may not be the easiest word to say, hyperinsulinemia is essentially when you have a higher level of insulin in your blood compared to the average person.

Insulin is a hormone that helps to regulate blood glucose (sugar levels), according to Cleveland Clinic.

The condition is often caused by insulin resistance, which is when your body doesn’t respond properly to the production of insulin.

When your body struggles to maintain healthy blood sugar levels, it could lead to type 2 diabetes. Hyperinsulinemia also puts you at higher risk of obesity.

What are the symptoms of hyperinsulinemia?

Dr. Jamnadas explained the telltale signs of the condition as part of a clip that has gone viral on TikTok, explaining that if your arms ‘are nice and thin or normal’, but you find that weight has gone to your belly, ‘you have a high insulin level’.

Cleveland Clinic also notes: “The two main factors that seem to contribute to insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia are excess body fat, especially around your belly, and a lack of physical activity.”

Dr. Jamnadas further explained that a low high-density lipoprotein (HDL), also known as the ‘good cholesterol’ as well as a high triglyceride can indicate having the condition.

Other symptoms he mentioned include high blood pressure, high uric acid level and underlying vascular disease.

While it may be hard to spot at first, these signs can be spotted and are measurable.

What are the causes of hyperinsulinemia?

Prevention is always easier than dealing with it when it comes, as insulin resistance has been pinpointed as the main cause of hyperinsulinemia.

This causes your pancreas to release extra insulin to keep your blood sugar levels healthy.

To avoid having high insulin, you should change three aspects of your lifestyle.

Eating more carbohydrates and greens while avoiding the likes of unhealthy sugar, red meat and fat is a good way to stimulate excess insulin output.

Exercising regularly should also be a target, regardless of the condition, as it puts you in good stead going into your older years.

Weight loss is directly associated with improvement in hyperinsulinemia, so making the necessary changes to lose weight if you notice some belly fat gain could save you from a world of trouble.

How common is hyperinsulinemia?

The condition can affect anyone, and it can be either temporary or chronic.

According to Cleveland Clinic, the two main factors that contribute to insulin resistance are excess body fat, specifically around the belly, and a lack of exercise.

Unfortunately, there currently aren’t any common tests that can check for the condition, while symptoms are hard to come by until it develops into type 2 diabetes.

The easiest way to look at it is to analyse the data around prediabetes cases in the UK.

3.6 million people in England had prediabetes in 2023, an 18 percent increase from the previous year, according to the NHS.

Internet users have artificial intelligence (AI) at their fingertips and deepfakes are flying around left, right and centre at the moment.

I mean, a doctored video of President Donald Trump worshiping Elon Musk’s feet was blasted across government TVs in the US last week, so you really do have to take everything with a pinch of salt.

Which is why a lot of people were left convinced that footage of Mark Zuckerberg singing and dancing in a sparkly blue jumpsuit must have been a hoax.

However, the video is very much real – and the Meta boss himself is the one who shared it on social media.

Zuckerberg decided to make his wife’s 40th birthday one to remember by channelling his inner Benson Boone and putting on an eye-popping performance in front of their loved ones.

Priscilla Chan is one lucky lady, eh?

As well as throwing a lavish party in her honour, Zuckerberg decided to recreate Boone’s memorable performance at this year’s Grammys…and yes, that means ripping off a tuxedo to reveal a jazzy jumpsuit.

It turns out that the 40-year-old Facebook founder was actually wearing the exact same outfit as the singer, 22, which he sported during his headline-hitting set at the awards show on 2 February.

In the clip, two glamorous assistants are seen ripping Zuckerberg’s tux off of him to reveal a snazzy blue jumpsuit.

The tech mogul is then seen prancing around the stage while seemingly belting out one of Boone’s songs.

But Zuckerberg decided to play it safe and simply jump off of a piano while on stage, rather than attempting to recreate Boone’s backflip off of the instrument.

Chan looked elated by her husband’s surprise, as did other partygoers who were seen in the footage.

Sharing the video in an Instagram post, Zuckerberg wrote: “Your wife only turns 40 once! Shoutout to @bensonboone for the jumpsuit and new single.”

He had also previously shared snaps of him and Chan celebrating her birthday, where he dubbed her ‘the most important person in his life’.

“You are a great partner, mother, and friend, and I’m grateful to share this life with you,” he wrote.

Which is all very sweet and all… but people still just can’t get their heads around seeing Zuckerberg cosplay as a glittery-jumpsuit-wearing pop star.

A number of people took to X to share their thoughts on their footage, explaining that they were still unsure whether it was ‘real or very good AI’.

One said: “I thought this was an AI generated video, it’s not?”

Another wrote: “What is going on with Zuck, surely this is fake!”

A third added in disbelief: “Can’t believe this is real!”

A fourth commented: “Seriously, is this AI?????”

And a fifth joked: “Ironic that as AI gets more personable and human-like, so does the Zuck…”

To be fair to these lot though, even Boone admitted that he ‘couldn’t believe his eyes’ in the comment section of Zuckerberg’s post.

According to ABC, the ‘Beautiful Things’ hitmaker also hopped into the comments of another post which featured the footage to add: “I hope his nuts are okay. That thing is so tight.”

Ouch.

Pratt is married to Schwarzenegger’s daughter, Katherine Schwarzenegger, with the couple sharing three children together.

But it was after the birth of each of their kids that Pratt explained he came down with a mystery illness – and apparently it’s all his father-in-law’s fault.

Appearing on The Graham Norton Show on Friday (28 February), Pratt spoke about Schwarzenegger’s cigar habit, explaining that after the birth of his kids, his father-in-law would show up with a Cuban cigar.

“He’s always smoking one on set, in his car, and in my living room,” he said.

“When we have a baby, he shows up with a Cuban cigar. I have asthma, so I should not ever smoke cigars, but I do because I feel pressure from Arnold Schwarzenegger.

“So, every time we have a child, at about two weeks we smoke the cigar and at about three weeks, I have a lung infection. It’s a nice little ritual we have, a custom!”

It seems that Pratt is pretty close with his in-laws, with the actor – who’s recently been promoting his new movie The Electric State – opening up about the experience of watching his brother-in-law Patrick Schwarzenegger’s newest full-frontal scene in The White Lotus.

Patrick Schwarzenegger has been making headlines for his role in the newest season of The White Lotus, where his character has a bizarre incestual storyline.

While it is not clear whether Schwarzenegger had a body double or prosthetic, that has not stopped Pratt from weighing in on his brother-in-law’s penis.

Pratt said in an interview with E! News when asked about the controversial scene: “I know where my eyes went — I’m not blood related to him, I was looking at that dick, bro.

“No, he looks amazing. Obviously, he’s a physical specimen, but also he’s a really solid actor, because the character he’s playing is completely different than who he is.”

It wasn’t just Pratt who spoke about the scene, with Schwarzenegger also commenting on his son’s big moment.

He said: “I was so pumped to take a break from filming to celebrate @patrickschwarzenegger at the White Lotus Season 3 premiere.

“What a show! I could claim to be surprised to find out he has a nude scene, but what can I say – the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
